The Devil's Curse

on the spot

where to now?

as i shout my good words

they sound

a dozen rose pedals

shower me

no echo

i am hiding

but what am i hiding from?

something i thought 

that was so greatly attributed

to my fear

is now ashes

and soot

before my eyes

nothing is everything

and everything is nothing

once you have it

what is there to do

with nothing

you can have everything

and with nothing

there is no love

just a giant hole

in your chest

because let's face it

you won't need a heart where you'll be

where we'll all be

nothing

to close our eyes with

our lids

a masked intoxication

to our senses

nothing to shield ourselves with

the inner body is self suffering

its said enough

but you've never heard their cryings' in the night

their pleasurable cries

despair

and hurt

let them all suffer

damned be all

that let your blood run cold

and your story left untold

no one needs to know about a girl 

that's almost gone insane

no one cares about her

no one cares about what she dreams about

no one dare ask her

because she can kill you

if you ask her

but she needs to know

about herself

and about me

and about everyone else that loves her

but she's been gone too long

she loves it there

let their knives plunge themselves in your skin

the blood

let it turn cold

as they've you

the blue trickles

of tears

that is streaming down my eyes

let it sound against those pedals 

as they shower me

i fade

with their bell ringing

and their merry laughter

never to be seen again

Once one has it all, what do we do with it? Very interesting thought. Valentine
